With over 20 years of experience in the captivating realm of astronomy and scientific engineering, I bring a unique perspective to every project. My journey has taken me from exploring the cosmos to designing and managing the very observatories that allow us to unravel its mysteries. The International Astronomical Union recently recognized my contributions to astronomy by awarding me a Minor Planet Designation: asteroid 28992 “Timbrothers”. I specialize in end-to-end project management, ensuring that each endeavor, from concept to completion, is executed with precision and passion.

My expertise lies in:

  • Observatory Design and Operations: I’ve dedicated my career to creating environments where scientific discovery thrives. This includes everything from site selection and telescope optimization to ensuring the seamless operation of these complex facilities.
  • Light Pollution Mitigation: I’m deeply committed to preserving the beauty of our night skies and the natural nighttime environment. I consult on outdoor lighting projects, helping communities and businesses minimize light pollution while maximizing energy efficiency and cost savings.
  • Bridging Science and Policy: I’m passionate about educating the public on the impact of light pollution on astronomy, the natural nighttime environment, and our overall well-being. I’m available for speaking engagements to share my knowledge and advocate for responsible lighting practices.
  • Space Domain Awareness (SDA): My experience in defense research has provided me with valuable expertise in SDA, specifically in ground station design and observation strategies for both LEO and GEO objects, contributing to the safety and security of space operations.

My goal is to help you achieve your goals, whether it’s building a state-of-the-art observatory, creating a sustainable lighting plan, or simply learning more about the wonders of the universe.
